The Alsek Valley is one of those rare places where the landscape feels untouched and endless. Framed by the towering peaks of the St. Elias Range, the valley stretches toward the horizon with braided rivers, glacier-fed lakes, and wide tundra plains that glow with color in summer. Hiking here means stepping into true wilderness, where silence fills the air and every turn reveals another sweeping view. It’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel the vastness of the Yukon all around you.

The trail that winds through the valley extends for about 25 km one way, so you can hike as far as you like, just make sure to plan according to daylight and conditions. If you plan to camp overnight, a backcountry permit from Kluane National Park is required.
